I loved the baroque cycle, but I was craving a long series when I read it and the Jack Shaftoe 'books' were great. Cryptonomicon was good too, but it didn't give any more information about Enoch Root which was annoying. The humor throughout was great though. I'm halfway through Revelation Space right now and I can't wait to move on to something else. I'm a sucker for futuristic contact with alien species we can't comprehend and long extinct sentient species, but I hate in depth descriptions of fake technology like how some of the super weapons hidden on the lighthugger work

uegh, never made it through the Baroque cycle, it's still sitting on my bookshelf mocking me. and now I have pretty much forgotten everything in it, so if I want to have any chance of 'getting it' I will have to start over again...

i really liked snow crash, the diamond age, and also the cryptomonicon. i was never able to read anything else by Stephenson. his other books seem to laborious. i was hoping REAMDE would be good, but it seems uninteresting to me also. my moniker, 'dan7el' comes from snow crashes 'da5id'. gently caress yeah. why not?

It's not like he says something like "and then Eliza stuck her fingers in Jack's butt and he came from his mangled dick for the first time in years", its just the two character's dialogue while its happening and it's maybe half a page of innuendo/jokes.
